Suite for the Lute in G Minor
J. S. Bach Bach's Cello Suite No.5 in C Minor is shown elsewhere on this site in the manuscript believed to have been made by Bach's second wife Anna Magdalena.
The Suite No. 5 in C Minor is the only suite for which a Bach autograph still exists..This is an ornamented version for lute in G Minor ((BWV 995) that gives us a rare glimpse of performance possibilities of this complex piece. Enjoy the comparisons of the two versions.
You will also find a link here to a lecture-preview of a performance of mine at the Victoria Music Festival in Canada in which I discuss many of these issues. ("Bach's C Minor Suite Was Written This Morning" by Harry Wimmer <reprinted from the Violoncello Society Newsletter Spring 1992)
